Eric Ewazen Classical Concerto

King of Prussia, PA – Theodore Presser Company announces the release of the piano reduction of Eric Ewazen's Classical Concerto for Tenor Saxophone and Orchestra (114-41458 - Score and Part - $19.99). Commissioned by celebrated tenor saxophonist James Houlik, Ewazen�s Classical Concerto earns its title through the use of traditional musical forms and neoclassical approaches to lyricism. The concerto is recorded by Houlik with the Czech Philharmonic Chamber Orchestra (Paul Polivnick, conductor) on the Albany label (TROY477). Orchestral materials are available on rental.

This new Concerto is available now through Theodore Presser Company, or your favorite music retailer.

Born in Cleveland, Ohio, and receiving his Bachelor�s of Music Degree from Eastman, and Master�s and Doctorate Degrees from The Juilliard School, Eric Ewazen has written many chamber works for brass, winds, percussion and increasingly strings, piano, and voice that have become standards of the repertoire. His music in all genres�including orchestra, wind ensemble and chorus�has been performed around the world with great acclaim.

Distinguished soloists and chamber ensembles performing his music include players as diverse as percussionist Evelyn Glennie, the American Brass Quintet, and the Ahn Trio; trombonists Charles Vernon, Joseph Alessi, Ronald Barron, Christian Lindberg, Nitzan Haroz, David Taylor and James Lebens; clarinetists Franklin Cohen and Larry Combs; flutists Elizabeth Rowe, Mindy Kaufman, Julius Baker and Jan Gippo; trumpet players Chris Gekker, David Bilger and Philip Smith; among many others from major symphonies around the world, including the Vienna Philharmonic, the Berlin Symphony, the Concertgebouw, the Paris Opera Orchestra, the London Philharmonic, and noted players from major symphonies and orchestras in every state of the U.S.
